Re: Moving mail items based on Subject text

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Thanks Andy.

I didn't realise it was possible to create a rule to run on the server from
an Outlook client, but I've done this now and it works fine when run
manually (Run Rules now), but doesn't seem to work on mail as it arrives in
the shared folder.

It's a very simple rule and I've checked for errors.

Any ideas?

I'm using Exchange with SBS 2003 R2 and need to move mail items delivered
to
a shared folder based upon the Subject field containing a specific text
string.

The items concerned are emails identified as spam by our server-based
malware program and have a specific text string (e.g. 'SPAM: ') appended
to
the front of the text in the subject field.

On the client PCs this is achieved with a simple Outlook rule that looks
for
the text string in the subject field and moves spam items to a separate
Spam
folder.

How do I achieve the same thing on the Exchange server to deal with spam
in
shared mail folders on the server?

1. Open up the shared mailboxes and use an Outlook rule
2. Have the server-based program do it.
3. Write your own event sink.
4. Use another program
5. Upgrade to Exch 2007 and use a transport rule.
